Stayed one night in at the end of a week-long business trip. Arrived late and asked for a quiet room. I was grateful for the upgrade offered by the friendly front desk staff. Room was comfortable, large, clean and updated. Renos to this heritage building were good, without losing all of the historical charm. The kitchen had already closed when I called down for room service. Again, the staff showed great customer service by bringing up a bowl of their great chowder. Breakfast was included the next morning, a choice between a continental or traditional. I usually stay at a hotel off the highway, but my next trip, I'll look forward to returning to the Plaza.

This is an older building (built about 1912) that has been thoroughly renovated and brought up to modern standards, while preserving the architecture and the 'mood' of the original property.

Some rooms are a bit small (as could be expected from a building of this vintage), but they are certainly fully satisfactory.

Be sure to check the prices offered on Trip Advisor before checking in - I was offered the rack rate of $129 a night, I then showed the receptionist the Trip Advisor advertised price of $79 a night and was given the $79 price without any hesitation.

Outdoor parking is available at the independently operated lot next door for $5 a night.

When we lived in Kamloops we checked out the Plaza Hotel as we planned to come back to the city to see the Western Canada Theatre Company's production of Les Miserables. We booked well in advance for a suite. When we arrived, we were given a regular room but were promptly moved to a 5th floor corner suite. The suite was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The bed and pillows were great! We enjoyed breakfast both mornings; breakfast was included in the price. Although we didn't have time to take advantage of the use of the nearby YMCA and Yoga Loft it is a real bonus to have free use of these facilities as part of the cost of staying at the Plaza. The Plaza is downtown; as we love to walk, this makes for a great location for Riverside Park, galleries, shopping, a super cappuccino at Motivos, etc.

Stayed at The Plaza for one night in October 2013 on our way back to Victoria, B.C. The Plaza was what I err expected for a boutique hotel in Kamloops that has been recently refreshed. It maintains the charm of an older main street hotel with a good number of renovations.

The rooms were small which was to be expected and it felt very European. Given the size of the room there was still a good size bed and flat screen TV. Very small bathroom that was workable albeit the reno work was to he desired...lazy paint and tiling job. No signicant cleanliness issues with the room...it was ready as expected.

Keep in mind that there are a couple features of The Plaza that make it unique. Firstly, the elevator fits one person and a luggage cart...that's it. Not a huge deal but depending on the size of your party make sure to set aside extra time to check in and check out. Secondly, the floor that we booked had a four step staircase that we needed to walk up to get to our room. The luggage trolley doesn't really travel up stairs so make sure you don't mind moving pieces of luggage without a trolley.

There is a very nice renovated lounge with live music on the weekends. Very ritzy if you are looking to have a glass of wine and lounge after a long drive or day of sight seeing. This lounge is also used for the breakfast buffet that was included for free with our stay. Not the best buffet but it will fill you up...toast, juice, potatoes, sausage, eggs...the usual basic buffet.

Overall, we were satisfied with what The Plaza had to offer and would probably stay there again in the future mainly because it was cozy and had a unique charm. It was worth the rate that we paid and was a pleasant experience.

Very good hotel located in the city center and we were lucky to arrive on Friday and in the hotel restaurant had a wonderful band ... so we could enjoy the country local music. Fantastic old but well maintained hotel!

Totally refurbished Heritage Hotel in Kamloops that exceeded our expectations on our 6 day drive through the Rocky Mountains. We booked a corner junior suite which was huge, bed was extremely comfortable and the room felt immaculate. As we were off season in September it was not overly priced. Ate downstairs in hotel restaurant which had reasonably good atmosphere and the same room was used for the included breakfast, which was totally acceptable. As Kamloops was a good stopping over destination between Jasper and Whistler, we would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: Corner suites are huge
